Physics — high school
Physics is not learned by memorising: it is learned by recognising which few laws govern a problem. It is the subject where the day job helps most — kinematics, dynamics, oscillations and energy are what I use daily on a racing car.

What you will be able to do
What you will be able to do
- Work out which law governs a problem before hunting for a formula
- Draw a correct free-body diagram
- Check an answer against its units and its order of magnitude
The first meeting is free.
It is there to work out where to actually start. If I do not think I can help, I will say so.
